About Me:

Started out with this as way to help the fire company because I realized how involved my boyfriend was and how much it meant to him. After being in it for a certain period of time I realized that I wanted to do more for the fire company and township. So I started my trainings to help serve the community and citizens.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

My boyfriend was a volunteer firefighter and I realized how much of a part it was to him. So I got involved to also help out, first starting as a photographer. However now I am completing my Essentials training for firefighting along with many other trainings as well.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Knowing that you have the ability to help someone out each and every day. And to do something that I never would have thought I could accomplish.

Top Issues Facing Responders:

As far as volunteer services go, there just aren't enough volunteers out there. Not enough people willing to donate their time in the means of helping out their community.
